don nelson

 

[CanadianSteve]

No but good guess. I wonder if he's won with 2 teams?

 

[CanadianSteve]

I peeked at the list - Nelson won twice with Milwaukee and once with GS.

 

[edabomb]

Pat Riley??

 

[CanadianSteve]

Yes, Riley with the Lakers, Knicks, and Heat.

Hubie Brown won twice with the longest time between wins. Most winners did not win the championship in the year they won coach of the year - it's based on the regular season. Also quite often it's given to a coach who's brought improvement to a weaker team, rather than the team with the most wins that year.

Jerry Sloan should've won one by now.

Who was the lowest draft pick to win NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1990s???

 

[attamarrap]

Who was the lowest draft pick to win NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1990s???

Mike Miller?

 

[edabomb]

Who was the lowest draft pick to win NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1990s???

Mike Miller?

No, he was 5th overall in 2000. Plus the correct player was drafter lower than that.

 

[Jae]

Hmm.. Mark Jackson was drafted at 18 in the 80s and won it... in the 90's it's either Amare Stoudemire or Damon Stoudamire.

 

[edabomb]

Damon Stoudamire is correct. Amare was in the 2001 Draft. Damon was drafted seventh overall.

I often wonder what would of become of Damon Stoudamire if he'd stayed at the Raptors. How long he would of put up 19 and 7. I reckon he would of gone very well alongside Vince also. Him, Vince and T-Mac haha. Damon would of had to of stayed away from the drugs though.

Yours Jae........

 

[Jae]

Damon put up some big numbers for an expansion team, but yeah I think he ruined what could've been a promising career... at least he got paid I suppose...

This'll be too easy, and I'm possibly wrong... one 2nd round draft contains 6 current NBA players, and 4 current NBL players... which year was it...

 

[CanadianSteve]

1999? - Just a guess to get things moving.

 

[Jae]

Nope not 99.

 

[attamarrap]

was it 93?? lucious harris,nick van exel,bryon russell, chris whitney and corrie blount(is he still playing?)
and it's also got darnell mee and acie earl (former)

That's the one... I didn't realize Paul Rogers wasn't playing NBL, that's what FTA coverage does.

 

[Goldthorpe]

Name the only coach on the NBA's 10 Greatest Coaches list that can't boast a championship ring?

 

[Mr Saab]

Don Nelson. And he never will win a ring as a coach..

question : Name the 1st player EVEr signed to play for the Vancouver Grizzlies. I am not talking rookies drafted, or expansions draft, i am talking 1st player signed.

 

[edabomb]

At a guess - Greg Anthony. He's the only non draft pick I remember playing there in 1995/96 :lol:

 

[Mr Saab]

not greg anthony. I cant give too many clues but i will say he was white, and was a guard.
